In the same work, moreover, he utilized allegory and symbol to an extent and at a level of sophistication unknown in his other works. In Browning's study, the author identifies and analyzes previously unnoticed or only briefly mentioned "linkages and keystones" found in two highly developed clusters of symbols, arising from Anna's momentous train ride and peasant nightmares, and of allegories, rooted in Vronsky's disastrous steeplechase. Within this labyrinth of symbol, allegory and structural patterning lies embedded much of the novel's most significant meaning. This study will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Russian literature, Tolstoy, symbol, allegory, structuralism, and moral criticism. 410 0$aStudies in Russian and Slavic literatures, cultures and history. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Russian & Former Soviet Union$2bisacsh 608 $aAnthologies$2lcgft 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Russian & Former Soviet Union. 676 $a891.73/3 700 $aBrowning$b Gary$0876559 712 02$aNational Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
